LETTER OF JUDE (Part 7)
Note that, although the love starts in Jesus (1John 4:8.16), however it is expressed toward people close to us (1John 4:20,21). We need to grow together with our brothers in Christ:
• Eph 4:15,16 -> “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”.
From the moment that these angels isolated themselves of the angels under their care, they commenced to feel all the beauty of the Creator’s holiness. This was so delightful for them that they started to think: “but, and if I could have this by myself, without depending on the Creator? I could have all the angels under my total control”.
So, because they distanced of the angels under their care, they mutinied against the true wisdom (Prov 18:1), desiring to be like the Creator:
• Isa 14:12 -> ““How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’”.
Here, the error was made first by the leader, who is referred as “Day Star, son of Dawn”. It is for this that the Creator direct His sentence to him first. Nonetheless, the same sentence was put on all his followers (2Peter 2:4; Jude 6).
In the end: these angels received of the Creator more delight in His presence that they could bear. Resulted: they desired to be so delightful as the Creator so that they could engross the attention of every angel (rejected the authority of their ministry):
Have a good day. Tomorrow we will carry on.
